Jacobsen Former Project Manager, EEA IWA Danish National Commitee Birgitte Skjøtt Secretary IWA Danish National Committee/DANVA 18 / 196 • IWA WORLD WATER CONGRESS AND EXHIBITION 2020 1 Capacity to Organise WWC&E 2020 Denmark has strong Governing Membership and Organising Committee with solid organisational resources. Both the local country committee and the city of Copenhagen has extensive experience in organizing large complex congresses. The Danish host committee is comprised of representatives from all sections of the water industry that strongly supports the candidature. A substantial amount of sponsorship has already been secured. Host association and Host Country Committee Denmark has a well-established IWA National Committee (IWA DK) and a long history of taking active part in several IWA fora such as the Governing Assembly, the Board of Directors, the Strategic Council, Programme Committees as well as Task Groups and Specialist Groups. Pioneers in the area of water treatment such as Poul Harremoës, Mogens Henze, Peter Steen Mikkelsen and Per Halkjær Nielsen were, and still are, internationally highly respected water specialists contributing to the IWA knowledge base and activities. The Danish National Committee comprises 30 members broadly covering the water industry: utilities, consultants, manufacturers/suppliers, government and research/academic in both the water supply and wastewater sector. A Host Country Committee has been established with supplementary members representing organisations needed for a successful planning and conduct of IWA World Water Congress and Exhibition 2020 (WWC&E 2020) in Copenhagen. Most members have already well established business relations across the world and offers a global outreach. The Committee has a high interest in bringing the WWC&E 2020 to Denmark to extend these relations. As Congress President
